In less than an hour I'm coming out to the first people from my wife's side of our family. So blessed my wife is by my side on this. A little nervous because I don't want this to reflect badly on her. Her family means so much to her. So if anyone is out there reading this please shoot me some good vibes :)
you can do it!
here, i made you an army of happy emoticons:

You go, Girl! Wishing you all the best.
Shooting vibes with a big bang. I think you will do fine with your wife at your side.
It is past the hour, but here is some smiles and good vibes :)
Thank you!!! Yay, it went super good! They were incredibly accepting, yes they did have a lot of concern for my wife. Understandibly, they want her to be happy and not trapped. Now I will admit that my wife has a large close family and we have a strategy to disclose from who we think will be easiest to hardest. So this was a pretty good bet, but I guess you never know.
I know I am so lucky with the support I am getting from the wife and adult family, but still have lots of bridges to cross. So my final chapter is far from being written.
Thank God for this board and for everyone here. All of your stories, the successes and struggles, are so important to our collective acceptance and to me personally. I am so glad just to be a very small part of it.
Glad it went to well!
I remember coming out to my 90 yr old MiL, she just said that as long as I look after her daughter should would always love me.
That was a few years ago, I'm referred by her to her friends as my Daughter in Law who is married to my daughter. She is 94 now!
